approximately 10 minutes. The amount of expressing varies depending on the nipple conditions of
each mother. See your condition and express accordingly.

 About the breast pump
This breast pump is for expressing breastmilk when you want to store it and feed it to your
baby later, or if you have problems with your nipples and are unable to breastfeed your baby
directly.
Correct use of this pump will allow you to enjoy feeding breastmilk to your baby. Every mother
expresses breastmilk differently. We recommend that you experiment to find the settings that
are most comfortable for you.

Breastmilk facts
Breastmilk originates from a mother’s blood.
Breastmilk is made from the mother's blood. It may seem hard to believe that red blood can turn into
white breastmilk. How does this happen? Breastmilk does not contain any of the red blood cells that make
blood red. The cells that produce breastmilk are surrounded by a great number of blood capillaries. When
the blood capillaries come into contact with the cells, the nutrients from the blood pass into the cells, and
breastmilk is formed. Breastmilk is a very important gift from a mother to a baby. Try to maintain a regular
lifestyle so that you can provide your baby with the best possible breastmilk.
What causes breastmilk secretion?
Breastmilk is ejected as a result of prolactin activity. Prolactin is a lactogenic hormone that is secreted by
the anterior pituitary gland. Prolactin activity is suppressed by the large quantities of estrogen and luteal
hormone that are secreted from the placenta during pregnancy. When the placenta is discharged following
birth, suppression ends, breastmilk is produced, and secretion is promoted. In addition, sucking by a baby
(peristaltic movement) stimulates the breast, releasing the hormone oxytocin, and causing breastmilk to
be secreted (breastmilk ejection). The more frequently your baby sucks, the easier it is for breastmilk to be
ejected.

How to store expressed breastmilk

Your breastmilk is full of nutrition. To keep it fresh for future use, insert a sealing disk into the
cap, screw the cap tightly onto the nursing bottle, and store the bottle in the refrigerator.

 About the included nursing bottle and nipple
This nipple can only be used with Pigeon Peristaltic PLUS™ Nursing Bottle.
Note: If your baby becomes comfortable with one certain nipple, he or she may object new ones. So rotate 2 or more
nipples and replace them about every 2 months. If the nipples become worn out, replace them without regard to how
many times they have been used.

For your child’s safety and health

• Always use this product with adult supervision. • Never use nipples as a soother. • Continuous
and prolonged sucking of fluids will cause tooth decay. • Always check food temperature before
feeding. • Keep all components not in use out of the reach of children. • Inspect before each
use and pull the nipple in all directions. The nipples may be worn by biting. Special attention is
needed for teething child. Throw away at the first signs of damage or weakness. • Clean before
each use. • Do not leave a nipple in direct sunlight or heat, or leave in disinfectant (“sterilizing
solution”) for longer than recommended, as this may weaken the nipple. • When not in use, keep
in a dry, covered container.

Warning Follow the warnings below carefully. Not doing so can cause burns.
• The bottle may become hot when preparing formula. Be careful not to burn yourself. • Do
not prepare formula near your baby, as there is a danger of burns. • Be sure to check the
temperature of the milk or other fluid before feeding. • The bottle may be hot after boiling or
microwave sterilization. Be careful not to burn yourself. • When preparing formula, if you shake
the upright bottle, hot liquid may gush out, causing burns. Handle the bottle carefully. • Do not
attach the hood and shake the bottle. If the hood is attached, the high temperatures may cause
the pressure inside the bottle to rise, leading to leaks or spouting of the hot liquid.

• Nursing bottles are for feeding your baby milk or other drink. Do not use them for any other purpose.
• The scale on the nursing bottle can be used as a guide when preparing formula. If you need to be more
precise, use a measuring cup or measuring spoon.
Formula
See the milk powder package for details on how to prepare formula.
Feeding
Feed your baby the formula after cooling it to approximately body temperature.
• Only a caregiver should feed the baby. • If you tighten the cap too hard, the nipple may collapse. • Consume the
formula immediately once prepared. Discard any formula if you don’t use within 2 hours of preparation.
